If your student is taking any prescription medication they should be checked in before boarding the buses. See the form attached to this email, please print it and complete the for and turn in at check-in on Tuesday. https://www.charmsoffice.com/charms/SchoolFilesNew/prthurnb/Public/DC%20Meds%20list.pdf
Make sure prescriptions are in their original bottles and understand that we are required by law to follow the prescription as written directly on the bottle. Any variance from this can only be documented by a doctor. We will not deprive your student of any necessary medications, but in the event of an emergency, we must know what the student has in their system.
Remember that students are not allowed to carry medications of ANY KIND (inhalers excepted). If your student needs an epi-pen, please mark it clearly with your student’s name and it will be kept in the med box. We will have a basic first-aid and medical kit with us.
All luggage will be checked, including carry-on/backpacks etc, including instruments. The guidelines used for DC are the same as used for band camp. According to PHASD policy, students’ luggage (including book-bags) will be subject to inspection. As with all band functions, students are solely and personally responsible for all valuables including cell-phones, mp3 players, jewelry, money, etc. If you bring it, you are responsible for it.
fyi…One bus will carry instruments, another uniforms, and the remaining 2 will carry luggage. We are hoping to have parents that are not leaving Tuesday or not traveling to DC volunteer to check baggage and load luggage. Please go to this link on Charms to volunteer https://www.charmsoffice.com/charms/volunteerR.asp?s=prthurnb&v=2342350. Chaperones will board the buses early so they can get their seats ahead of students.
Remember that All UNIFORMS must be hung in a garment bag, not a trash bag and clearly marked with your name.
Tuesday schedule:
Everyone is to show up between 6:45 PM and 7:00 PM on Tuesday!
